More than 85% of all cases of schistosomiasis in Cameroon occur in the northern sahelian half of the country representing 20% of the population. Several workers have advocated the integrated approach to schistosomiasis control, including snail control, but the death and decay of aquatic organisms, and fish kill that often follows Bayluscide application at the dose of 1 g/m3 decrease its accepta...

Schistosomiasis is a disease endemic in several states of Brazil. The population control of the transmitter mollusks is done with Bayluscide WP 70®, in the control programs. OMS preconize molluscicidal assays using Becker with 500 mL of final volume, restringing the number of natural products and synthetic drugs to be tested in function of high quantity of material necessary. A new technique to...

the effect of the mollusciciding of 364 different snail habitat with bayer 73 (bayluscide), undertaken during the period january 1968 to january 1973, for the control of urinary bilharziasis bas been evaluated in khuzestan, southwest iran. the criteria for assessment were as follows:1. complete kill was obtained when no live b.truncatus was found in monthly surveys for one entire year after mol...

The aim of this study was to determine the toxicity of niclosamide (Bayluscide (R)) on Melanoides tuberculata and Biomphalaria glabrata under laboratory conditions. The latter species is the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni (Sambon 1917). M. tuberculata was successfully used as competitor of B. glabrata in biological control programs in French West Indies. Both molluscicide and biologic...

in an attempt to determine the chemical losses of three common molluscicides, i.e. cuso4, napcp and bayer –73, in stagnant water, a solution of each of this molluscicide was applied to one or more b.truncatus habitats and outdoor aquariums. the concentration of each molluscicide in these water bodies was determined immediately after application and at fixed time intervals thereafter. the concen...
